INTERNET MARKETING: RELATIONSHIP BUILDING FOR BUSINESSES
Internet marketing, unfortunately, often becomes an end in itself. Dr. McDonald’s classes, in contrast, emphasize practical Internet marketing strategy. What are the goals of the business? Who are the target customers? How can social media and/or SEO be used to a) attract new customers, b) build relationships with first-time customers, and c) extend existing relationships? Beyond that, a major question of Internet marketing is which social media or SEO tactic is the best fit for any given business. 
Some businesses should focus on blogs; others on Twitter; still others on Facebook or Youtube. A big part of each class lies in understanding how to identify a target social media that is truly appropriate for your business. Dr. McDonald’s SEO consulting service also use this practical methodology as does his social media trainings.
